Sasha came to us long ago along with three tiny pups. The entire family were like skeletons, white in colour and in terrible condition. She had bitten some Security Guard while protecting her little ones and she had been caught and sent to our Deonar Centre for this. We started treatment for all, but the little ones were too sick to make it. AS we looked after Sasha, she slowly filled out and it was found that she actually had a beautiful coat of a lovely light orange colour. Of course with only friends and well-wishers around at our Centre, she really blossomed and then we decided to send her back to location at nearby Cheddanagar. Unfortunately, she was again beaten by another guard, tried to bite him and once again came back to us. We have never seen this side of her personality. It is a puzzle to us, as Sasha has many good friends at our Centre and she is a dignified, sweet natured dog. In fact she has some best friends as well among our staff members. All a street dog needs is kindness it seems. Waiting for a Sponsor now. Do hope you choose her!

SPONSOR DOG - MINNIE

It is difficult to meet a more pleasant natured dog than Minnie, this charming little resident dog who is at our Deonar Centre. She is a hit with visitors and volunteers alike. One of our volunteers, a Veterinary student confessed he comes in to volunteer because he loves to meet this little dog! She came to us in a strange way. She was simply brought in one day by one of the BMC Vans which also bring in dogs for ABC to our Centre on a daily basis. Her records were lost and the Officer in charge at that time retired shortly after she was lodged at our Centre, so we have not been able to find out where she was brought from. Location is extremely important for each dog brought in. They cannot be left just anywhere. So now Minnie as we fondly named her, is very much with us and has become one of our resident dogs. Do sponsor her - she is a lovely little dog and we are privileged to have her in our care.

When healthy kittens come in, we try our best to get them into foster care or get them adopted into a safe and loving home. But in the case of these kittens, we were not successful.
